MAP and coolant bleeding
Down to the end here.
Where/which is the "coolant air bleed hose" and its connection?
Is there any reason not to bolt the map up to the plenum BEFORE setting it down onto the IHs? I see the vacuum hose needs to be run under the fuel lines to the port on the back of the plenum, but is it any harder to clip the wire connector into the bottom of the map after getting the plenum in position....rather than having the wires connected first and then having to put the two bolts in the back of the plenum after? Is it too hard to reach and plug the wires in afterwards?
Crap! I am also reading that the PCV dual hose fitting is to be installed AFTER the plenum is in "working" position. I have already installed the PCV hoses and connected them. Is this some big problem for getting other things in place? I really don't want to take it all out again.

When I put my plenum back I had left the MAP connected to the wiring. I let it hang out in the trans tunnel. All I had to do was bolt it back into brkt & bolt the brkt back to the plenum & the hose was a bunt but I have small hands.
I think I kind of laid the PCV sys in place but didn't connect the 90 els to the I/H's. It made it easy to move it around & when the plenum was bolted & tq'ed then I put the elbows in & tightened up all the little clamps. With the ends of the PCV holder not tight but into the metal lines and the rest of the plumbing all loose and not yet in the I/H's you get alot of wiggle to move it around while the plenum gose down to get the electrical connections for the Ing. Sys. I didn't do anything for the coolant bleeding...I think?!?
I hope I explained myself well enough for you to get the picture!?
